I present for your consideration Sportsmen for Obama? The next presidential election will be especially important in case the Democrats retain control of the House and Senate.

Congressional Response to D.C.'s Actions

Wednesday, 30 July 2008

Representative Mark Souder has introduced H.Res. 1331 to move House Bill 1399 - To restore Second Amendment rights in the District of Columbia out of committee. Successful action would allow the full house to consider H.R.1399 without delay.

The resolution requires the signatures of 218 representatives to move forward. Intoduced on July 24th, it now has 130 signatures. You can find the current signers list here.

We encourage you to call, email, poke and prod your representatives to support the rights of law abiding D.C. residents and slap the D.C. city council all in one, satisfying act.

Right now is one of those times where action can make a difference.

Why does it take an act of congress to "restore" the rights which were indeed always ours to begin with? Hasn't the SC done that with its decision...that is, voided the illegal District anti-gun legislation? And why are the Attorney General and the Justice Dept. not prosecuting members of the D.C. council who continue to ignore the court's decision?
